Another asker asked how she should decorate the area around her bay windows. Those answers (benches, plants, wicker, etc) were helpful, but I am more interested in window treatments.

I have 2 windows in my bedroom that are 48″ W by 36″ H. The sill is about 55″ off of the floor. I do need them covered completely at times for privacy. I feel that floor length would look odd since there is so much space below window. They seem a little bare w/only a mini blind or roman shade.

I’m remodeling a 30X22 foot room. It’s a kitchen and living room all in one, but not my main living room and no TV.
I’m remodeling a 30X22 foot room. It’s a kitchen and living room all in one, but not my main living room and no TV.
The challenge with this room is the windows. There are 7 windows plus french doors. 4 of these windows are 6 feet tall and only 2 feet wide. They all currently have 2″ wood slat blinds. I think I want to dress up the windows, but don’t know what to do with the skinny windows. I’m not crazy about valances in general. My style is casual contemporary leaning toward traditional, but the kitchen is going to be ultra-modern with a 9X7 foot island.
What can a person do with this many windows PLUS having these narrow windows?

We just bought a new modern condo with a wall of floor to ceiling windows. We have no idea how to cover them … both to not be on show to the neighbors but also to block light when we’re sleeping. Help!

Donna asked:
I have a small room with 2 windows off my bedroom. I want to convert this room into a closet. I am concerned about the sunlight fading the clothes; on the other hand, I would like to retain as much light as possible. I don’t particularly want to use blinds. I am seriously considering using the self-adhering embossed vinyl window film. Good idea or bad idea? Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you.
